QUARTIERS DE DEMAIN - SAIGE / LE PROJET Dans une logique d’économie de ressources, de réemploi des infrastructures et de transformation mesurée du site, nous choisissons d’implanter un volume capable sur la dalle existante. Ce positionnement réduit l’impact sur les sols, en construisant sur une surface déjà imperméabilisée, aujourd’hui exposée aux effets d’îlot de chaleur et difficilement végétalisable. Il repose sur quelques principes fondateurs qui orientent sa conception : flexibilité, générosité, robustesse et accessibilité. À l’extrémité sud du volume capable, un local est destiné à accueillir une cantine solidaire, qui pourrait être portée par l’association des @cheffes_nomades_officiel . Cette programmation spécifique entre en résonance avec la présence du centre social voisin, ainsi qu’avec la requalification du socle de la tour 8. Le projet vise une transformation minutieuse et complète des premiers étages de la tour: une relation renouvelée et plus poreuse avec l’environnement. De cette façon, le sol de la tour devient un lieu de destination accueillant. Une série d’espaces à double hauteur permet un nouveau sens de l’hospitalité, offrant un cadre approprié pour divers programmes : Atelier de Réparation Vélo, Café Co-Work, Boulangerie, Espaces Associatifs, etc. Justice environnementale. 100% d’appartements avec un espace extérieur ou semi-extérieur est fondamental dans un contexte de post-pandémie et de changement climatique. Structures domestiques flexibles et fonctionnelles. Les appartements fournissent un cadre pour divers styles de vie. La serre du dernier étage de la tour synthétise une approche précise vis-à-vis de l’existant : un nouvel espace social mettant l’accent sur l’environnement et notre perception du quartier et de la ville. @51n4e (mandataire) with @plancomun_ , @atmos.lab , @lafayette_architectes , Aïda , Artelia, Creaspace, Cronos Conseil, Diese, Egitura, @etablissement_paysage @vpeas and @charlesdaubas Special thanks for the set of renders to @out.of.ram

QUARTIERS DE DEMAIN: SAIGE / THE PROJECT Au cours de l’année dernière, nous avons participé à la Consultation internationale Quartiers de Demain @quartiersdedemain.archi Notre équipe a été sélectionnée parmi les trois finalistes, aux côtés des équipes dirigées par l’AUC et Dominique Perrault (lauréat), pour le Quartier de Saige à Pessac ( @bordeauxmetropole ), un ensemble de logements sociaux des années 1970 conçu par Jean Dubuisson, Francisque Perrier et André Kelderman, qui accueille 4 000 habitants. Le cahier des charges était axé sur la rénovation et la réutilisation adaptative d’une tour, avec l’ambition de créer un modèle reproductible, tout en améliorant les connexions avec la ville et l’université. La transformation proposée par notre équipe est définie par plusieurs grands principes : - Un exercice précis d’ajustement, visant un juste équilibre entre confort, économie, impact carbone et consommation d’énergie (à la fois pour la transformation en elle-même et pour la vie ensuite) ; - Utiliser la structure existante telle quelle, en proposant une réponse au programme requis, tout en limitant les démolitions au strict minimum, avec 95% du gros oeuvre conservé, le second oeuvre étant adapté en supprimant ou ajoutant seulement ce qui est indispensable pour répondre aux besoins du programme et aux réglementations, c’est-à-dire un nouveau système de circulations et façades ; - Plutôt que de transformer juste pour transformer, réparer l’existant en termes d’usage, d’économie et de qualité environnementale ; - Activer et sécuriser le rez-de-chaussée, pour offrir de nouveaux services aux habitants et aux visiteurs du quartier rénové - Offrir de nouvelles qualités de logement, en améliorant les performances environnementales, acoustiques et spatiales ; - Prendre soin de l’image urbaine, en cherchant à révéler le potentiel de l’architecture existante de manière subtile, à l’échelle locale et métropolitaine. @51n4e (mandataire) with Aïda , Artelia, @atmos.lab , Creaspace, Cronos Conseil, Diese, Egitura, @etablissement_paysage @lafayette_architectes @plancomun_ , @vpeas @charlesdaubas Renders by @out.of.ram

At the initiative of the President of the French Republic, the international Quartiers de Demain consultation aims to transform ten neighborhoods and create a national dynamic in support of urban policies of the 21st century. The consultation will enable the realization of projects that will have an impact across the neighborhoods and beyond, addressing the needs of local inhabitants and making an exemplary contribution to the ecological transition. @51n4e participated in the Quartier de Saige site in Pessac, which consists of the refurbishment and adaptive reuse of Tower 8, with the potential for replication, as well as the development of a green corridor linking the neighborhood to the town center and university campus. Our project aims to bring new life to this neighborhood and to reconnect with its ambitions of fifty years ago, not through grand gestures, but through a renewal grounded in what already exists. Small but precise interventions can have a significant impact. The 51N4E project for Saige is based on a simple idea: making the most of what already exists in order to fully reveal its potential. It includes a carefully renovated tower, an active ground floor with a generous new volume that allows for new productive functions, and the creation of three urban centralities that diversify uses while preserving the identity of the neighborhood.

#rubypress publication No. 57: „Lacaton & Vassal. It’s Nice Today: On Climate, Comfort, and Pleasure“, edited by Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal. With Atmos Lab. Lacaton & Vassal are the architects who brought greenhouses from the realm of agriculture into architecture. This book tells the story of their relentless exploration of such structures as a tool for a more fluid transition between indoors and outdoors. In a career spanning more than three decades, Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal have completed more than 20 projects—both conversions and new constructions—that incorporate greenhouses and winter gardens: single-family homes, apartment complexes, cultural and commercial structures, and large scale urban developments. They have all demonstrated the efficiency of winter gardens as thermal buffers, yet because standard calculation models weren’t applicable to such designs, it was difficult to quantify their insulating effect. To better understand the positive impact of this technology, Lacaton & Vassal teamed up with environmental design consultancy Atmos Lab to make detailed, long-term measurements at four of their projects comparing their thermal performance under different conditions. This book presents the methodology and results of that endeavour, providing scientific proof that winter gardens and greenhouses can act as efficient thermal buffers, reducing heating and cooling costs while providing users with a generous space to enjoy sun, natural light, and views.
